Everyone knows the adage "you're as young as you feel." But that doesn't make the widening disconnect between what you see in the mirror and how you "feel" any easier to take.
We buy boatloads of beauty products and religiously attend yoga classes in an effort to look younger than our years. We try to turn back the clock by eating anti-aging foods and applying sunscreen daily. Ever heard of a vampire facelift? Many people have tried that, too.
No doubt there are lots of tricks out there designed to make us appear younger. That's why we asked our Facebook fans for their ideas -- and we received an avalanche of responses. Take a look at some of our favorites below, and be sure to tell is your own anti-aging secrets in the comments.
